The Secret - How I turned a hobby into a successful online business with Site Build It

The book and video "The Secret" has become wildly popular, based on the concept that what you truly wish for will come to pass. That's a pretty powerful message. However, most of us know that simply wishing for something does not necessarily make it happen.

It takes a wish AND action to make it happen. That's what I did with the Del Mar Guide. I had left yet another unfulfilling job, and heard about Ken Evoy's Site Build It process.

I looked into it, studied the online literature, and talked to some of the references about how they were doing. I decided to try it, but was still a bit skeptical. I had never built a website before.

The thing I liked about their process was it is not a get rich quick scheme. Rather, it encouraged careful preparation and slowly building your business, using all the tools and resources they provide.

The one thing I overlooked that has helped my site become successful was the forum of thousands of users. This amazing community of people like me - from around the globe - share ideas, frustrations, successes and tips on what works and what doesn't.

The founder, Ken, reads this all the time, and the frequent enhancements to the product are a direct result of the 24/7 feedback from the forums.


What convinced me was the proof...

This is what moved me to action...
Using the forums and the incredibly helpful fellow SBIers, I am finding new ways to keep the site interesting and growing every day!

I wasn't a web designer, but I don't have to be. My site is completely made from the tools SBI provides.

My "secret" is that I followed the guide to start my site, on a subject I love, and I am now able to enjoy the financial benefits of a successful site. I am planning my next site using SBI and I know it will also be successful. Wish + Action = Success.

If you are bored with your job, have a passion you'd love to share, and don't mind some work to create a successful online business, check out this link here and compare.


If You Can Follow a Recipe, You Can Create Your Own Site

One of my loves is the romantic seaside village of Del Mar. I spent most of my youth there, visit often and I will retire there. I know Del Mar and thought that a site all about my town would be a good way to test SBI to see if it really worked.

I didn't have to wait long. From the moment I launched my site (July 2005), the traffic kept increasing month over month. I started using Google's Adsense to place online ads, and started getting checks from Google after I passed $100 in earnings.
